I'm quite a novice and completely new to this site, but here are some details which I hope may be of help:
The Wannadoo home page comes up blank and with the title "about blank".
3 sex-related sites are added to bottom of favourites drop down list.
AVG reports many '.exe' files repeatedly, especially after going on online.
Full AVG scan revealed 16 "trojan horse" things, 14 in C/windows, and 2 in C/Windows/system.
(examples: wp.exe, mskmidi.exe, javapb.exe, iedp32.exe, etc) - all are listed as 'Downloader Agent 11or 12. BA or H or Q or D' except for 'mskmidi.exe' which is listed as a trojan horse 'starter page.18.2'
Adaware reveals 27 critical objects, 25 of which are 'coolwebsearch' related.
Coolwebsearch (last merijin version) ran - nothing.
New/updated Cwshredder ran - nothing.
